The following is the process of creating my double page spread and what I had to consider as a result of the final product. I will be splitting the process into two posts.
1. Below is the final image I decided to use as the main image of the page. The reason for choosing this is because the image shows a very feminine side of the person being interviewed and because my target audience is mostly female.
2. For my double page spread, I decided to have the picture on the left-hand side and the whole interview or text on the right-hand side. This way it is organised and the text can be easily read rather than having the text surround the image. Also, I chose a pale orange colour for the background since it correlates with the model's hair highlights.
3. For the header, I used different fonts to show variety. Below are the fonts I used:
For the main part of the header, I used a bold font and made the font size bigger in order to pop put from the rest and to make a statement that this is the main topic. Blue is a primary colour that goes with the colour red and is featured in the front cover of the magazine as well. Again, maintaining consistency.
Because this serves as a tagline for the main header, the small condensed font and grey font colour reflects this.
4. For the whole text, I kept it simple by using fonts that are less eye-catching.
On the left is what the double page spread looks so far after all the tweaking and considerations.5. In order for the body text to be separated from the header and to look more organised, I added lines in the middle, top and bottom (as shown below).I made sure to begin the body text with a drop cap and as I stated in my previous post, this makes it more stylish and attractive.
The continuition of this post will be posted next and up next will be the final touches and the final product.
